CZone connection to NMEA 2000 | NSS Installation Manual
Software Updates and Screen Calibration
From time to time Simrad releases software updates to it’s existing products. Updates are
created for a variety of reasons; to add or improve features, to add support for new external
devices, or to  x software bugs.
Updates can be found on the Simrad website: http://www.simrad-yachting.com/Downloads/
Software-Updates/
The NSS may be used to apply software updates to itself, and to supported NMEA 2000 and
CZone devices, with  les read o a Micro SD card.
Before initiating an update to the NSS itself, be sure to back up any potentially valuable user
data.
Backing up user data
There are two  les that can be backed up that relate to user changes:
Waypoints Routes and Tracks
Settings (includes preferences such as unit settings, custom new pages, and Czone con gura-
tion  les)
The backup procedure is similar for both.
The  le formats for waypoint backup:
User data  le version 4: Use with current Navico MFDs (NSE, NSO, HDS). O ers most detail
User data  le version 3 (with depth): Use with legacy Lowrance GPS chartplotters
User data  le version 2 (no depth): Use with legacy Lowrance GPS chartplotters
GPX (GPS Exchange): Use with some other manufacturers’ GPS products, and PC applications
Northstar .dat (no Tracks): Use with legacy Northstar chartplotters
The Serial port option outputs the waypoints over NMEA 0183. The receiving GPS/PC will typi-
cally need to be set to allow import of waypoints.
The Settings and Czone con g can be copied simply by selecting which you want to backup
and selecting the destination to save to.
If the NSS is defaulted, or user data is accidentally deleted, simply return to the  les page,
highlight the backup  le, and select ‘Import. View  le details for creation date.
NSS software updates
The update  le must be loaded to the root directory of the SD card.
In the  les menu, locate the update  le on the SD card and select ‘Upgrade’. Accept the
prompt to reboot the unit, and wait a few moments as the unit restarts. After a fews seconds
the unit will display something similar to the following image:
Select update to run
* 0: Cancel
1: “NSS-xxxx.upd”
Turn the rotary knob so that the asterix appears next to the update  le. Press the rotary knob
